Article Summary

  • Rising Heat is a new survivors roguelike space shooter from Fuzzy Sock Studios and Apogee Entertainment.
  • Pilot customizable ships with unique movement mechanics, mastering tackles and momentum-based flight.
  • Fuse hacks, upgrade loadouts, and strategize builds to survive evolving alien hordes in every run.
  • Co-op mode links players with a powerful energy beam, adding teamwork and tactical depth.

Developer Fuzzy Sock Studios and publisher Apogee Entertainment dropped a new trailer this weekend for their upcoming game, Rising Heat. The game is a bit of a throwback in a sense as you're playing a survivors roguelike where you're operating a small space fighter, shooting at enemy aliens and weapons that have invaded, looking to destroy you. It puts a different kind of spin on what is essentially an arcade classic genre. We have more info and the new trailer here, as there's a free demo to play on Steam, but no release window has been set.

Rising Heat

Rising Heat drops you into the arena as a fighter pilot against swarms of extraterrestrial organisms with one thing in mind: utter destruction. The game's momentum-based movement mechanics make for physics-driven flight controls, challenging pilots to learn their aircraft. There is no single strategy to success either. Weave through enemies, circle and shoot, or barrel straight through the horde using Rising Heat's brand new "tackle" maneuver.

Loadouts are a major element of success in Rising Heat, with countless combinations of pilots, ships, and hacks that can be upgraded, integrated, or fused for maximum effect. Fusing hacks lets you discover synergies that cater to your exact needs. When flying in co-op mode, coordination becomes critical. Your ship is linked to your partner's by a deadly energy beam that can tear through enemies, but uncoordinated movement can yank your wingman into danger. How you battle in the arena is up to you, Captain.

  • Do A Barrel Roll!: Master a dynamic momentum-based movement system. Line up multiple enemies to execute a flurry of precise tackles, dealing devastating damage while bouncing between a barrage of enemy bullets!
  • Customize Your Loadout: Each cockpit has a limited inventory in which the pilot can upgrade, integrate, and fuse hacks together to create varied builds. Different strategies in the shop, hack positioning, action order, and even negative stats will help get the most out of every build.
  • Plan of Attack: A strong pilot must plan out their runs, including which pilot, ship, hacks, and weapons to equip. As the aliens learn to adapt, how does a successful pilot stay one step ahead?
  • Fly With a Friend: In co-op mode, two pilots are linked by a supercharged beam, creating opportunities for mass destruction…assuming they've got each other's backs.
